B&W 601 dented tweeter repair?

beleive this or not i had a dented tweeter on a b&w 602 and i used some clear packing tape , IT WORKED ... not perfect but very close . lay the tape as centered as you can in the center of your dent and gently lift it took several attempts but it looks ALOT better .

...and I thought we Audiohiles were the romantic type. Tape geesch, where's the love man!?

Just replace it, those tweeters only cost $27 from B&W.

I had a dented tweeter on my Paradigm Studio 20's. I found that by removing the diaphragm and using a soft Q-tip to gently push the dent out worked pretty well. The problem it that with metal domes, the metal is usually stretched when it is dented. Therefore, I am still replacing the diaphragm with a part from Paradigm ($50). This is the best and cheapest way to fix a tweeter - you do not have to replace the whole tweater either.

Fixing the dent did have a noticeable impact on the high frequency clarity however.

If the dent is not deep, this technique is much safer and effective than tape or vacuuming!

Getting the old tweeter out is also a problem.
